TripIt creates an organised travel itinerary by corralling all the confirmation emails you get from airlines, hotels and car rental companies and arranging the key info into a neat format you can scan on the go.

What we love: Not having to frantically search for confirmation numbers, departure gates and boarding times during a mad dash to the airport! Add the TripIt widget to your Home Screen to see the most timely info without having to unlock your iPhone.

Quick tip: If you don’t want to manually forward confirmation emails for TripIt to process, you can opt to give the app access to your calendar and email accounts. When you do, TripIt adds future travel plans automatically.

Meet the creator: Avid travellers Gregg Brockway, Andy Denmark and Scott Hintz founded TripIt in 2006 to solve the problems road warriors and jet-setters experience, such as scrambled bookings and incorrect departure times.
